For definitions of indicated parameters please refer to Imaging Processing section of Materials and Methods. Unit for D* value is × 10-3 mm2/s. Unit for Tmax is second. AUCw = whole area under the curve, AUC60 = the initial 60-second area under the curve, DCE-MRI = dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging, Emax = the maximum amplitude of enhancement, HNSCC = head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, IVIM = intravoxel incoherent motion, Tmax = the time at which Emax occurs
